Noticed a bit of a fuel smell after the last ride. Long story short I traced it back to the the fuel pump connector. This is apparently a common problem across lots of models such as the GS and was covered under a safety recall. Mine was recalled and had the metal collar fitted about 6 years ago. This was done by the previous owner so don't know if it was actually leaking or just the procedure
So my query is whether this would still be covered by BMW under the recall? My understanding is there are only 2 BMW fixes i.e. the metal ring or a complete replacement of the pump assembly (approx £380 to buy). I rang a dealer yesterday who suggested it would no longer be covered as the recall was done but the bike has only covered about 200 miles since then!
Am loathed to spend the time and money getting the bike transported to and from the dealers and then potentially having to pay them the full cost of the assembly and labour. Is there a time limit on recalls?
I have a short video but basically when i switch the ignition on there is a fine spray of fuel from below the metal ring
